Projected Profiles | Introduction
Created for Civil 3D production output, the Projected Profiles command addresses the challenge of integrating independently designed road features, such as parking bays or knuckles, into main road Civil 3D Profile Views.
The Projected Profiles command provides users with the ability to project String designs onto the alignment of other Strings to create Civil 3D Profiles (projecting design Civil 3D Profiles onto another alignment). Unlike Civil 3D Superimpose Profiles, the Projected Profiles command projects the design IP’s onto the selected string, then added the vertical curves.
This vastly improves the labelling of the projected Civil 3D profile, by detailing the grade and vertical curve information rather than a tessellated approximation.
Common applications of this would be for designs where it is required to show the design profile for kerb returns that connect to a road, or there is an independent vertical design for the left and right side of the road that needs to be shown along with the design centreline on the same Profile View.
Key Features and Applications:
- Profile Creation Flexibility: Supports independent vertical designs, such as kerb returns or profiles for road sides, shown alongside the design centreline in the same Profile View.
- Vertical Curve Management: Handles parabolic vertical curves, with options to transfer or project curve geometry points.
- Profile Customization: Users can select styles and labels for immediate customization.
Non-linear design is when a typical, cross section-based design does not generate the intended result. Typically for designs that are non-parallel, such as driveways, car parks, commercial / Industrial, residential & retaining wall projects. In this webinar, our expert, Jonathan Taylor will show you how to use the Civil Site Design tools to tackle these […]
The Civil Site Design Driveway Checker can be used to assist designers with determining clashes on existing & proposed Civil Site Design project designs. In this webinar, our expert, Jonathan Taylor, will be focusing on using the Driveway Checker to check B85 & B99 vehicles over different crossing points on the project, and exploring the […]
